Butterfly is a 2019 Lagoon 380 catamaran based in Paros, offering an ideal platform for exploring the windswept beauty of the Cyclades. With six well-appointed cabins and capacity for ten guests, this modern catamaran combines spacious living with the intimate charm of Greek island sailing. Departing from Paros port—a vibrant hub with excellent provisioning and a welcoming local atmosphere—you'll have immediate access to some of the Mediterranean's most coveted anchorages. The twin Yanmar engines provide reliable propulsion, while the generous beam of 6.63 metres creates the generous saloon and galley spaces that make multi-day voyages genuinely comfortable rather than merely tolerable.

Life aboard Butterfly strikes an easy rhythm between active exploration and leisurely anchorage. The catamaran's dual hulls offer exceptional stability, a particular blessing when anchoring in the shallow turquoise bays that dot the islands between Paros and Naxos. Solar panels keep systems charged during quiet afternoons, while electric winches make sail handling effortless—allowing even less experienced crew to participate fully in the sailing day. The sprayhood provides shelter during morning departures, and the GPS plotted at the helm ensures confident navigation through the archipelago's narrow channels and lesser-known coves.

Butterfly suits groups of friends seeking genuine connection, extended families wanting space to spread out, or couples who value the option of inviting others along. A typical week unfolds with leisurely mornings in whitewashed anchorages, afternoons swimming in crystalline water, and evenings discovering tavernas tucked into fishing villages. The two heads mean minimal queue time, while the radio-CD system provides entertainment during calmer passages. Whether you're experienced sailors refining your skills or relative newcomers embracing the learning curve, the catamaran's forgiving handling and straightforward systems welcome all levels of competence.

Seven nights minimum allows time to truly absorb the Cycladic rhythm—to sail unhurried between islands, to anchor at sunset in a sheltered bay with nothing but water and sky, and to return to Paros with the kind of salt-worn contentment that lingers long after the mooring lines are secured.
